I have one orchid that I cannot get to flower. The name on the ID is Iwan.Appleblossom (Dial.Snowflake x Blc.Orange Nugget) and I purchased this orchid in April of 2000. It has a beautiful fragrance and flower. The orchid has produced many bulbs but only 1 flower since the 2000 purchase date. The flower spike will start but instead of flourishing like my other orchids, the flower spikes dry up and die. Only one flower has bloomed on this plant. I wish I had a better photo but this is it. This orchid gets plenty of light and sits on a tray of moist pebbles. I'm very careful with watering and don't feed it during rest periods. I have another Cattleya (SLC.Jewel Box "Scheherazad") that I purchased in in 2005 and it produced 6 beautiful flowers in 2007 and has 8 buds that will bloom in the next week or so. It gets the same treatment as the other orchid. Can anyone give any suggestions that may help me to get my "Appleblossom" to bloom?
